| Believer: | What is my life about? |
|---|---|
| Paul: | Have you been raised with Christ? |
| Believer: | Yes. |
| Paul: | Then your life needs to be about the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. |
| Believer: | But what does that mean exactly? How do I do that? Where do I start? |
| Paul: | Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. |
| Believer: | That sounds like a lot. Why should I do that? |
| Paul: | For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. In other words, Christ is your life and when He returns you are going to appear with Him in glory. |
| Believer: | But Paul, can you give me some specific, practical instruction on what I need to do if I am going to set my mind on things above today? |
| Paul: | Yes. If you are going to set your mind on things above you need to do whatever it takes to turn from worldly desires that are warring against your soul. I am talking about things like sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and covetousness because that is idolatry. |
